Why can't I go to a random sports bar to get a random sample. vote.com is a website that random people can go to to express an opinion. It is a fair sampling on a particular issue. Any can raise all sorts of objection to any sampling. I understand the bias or lack of bias of vote.com. I cannot speak to what kinds or errors or bias occur in the so called random sampling of polling organizations.

If someone wants to rant and rail about some issue because of some poll, fine. All polls are created equal in their import of a discussion of issues.

Some on this thread wish to use invented numbers from their mind??? to make a point. I use a number from vote.com that is real and what and how it came to be is clear to all.

vote.com represents an informed opinion. Far more so than randomly calling anyone for an accidental interview. So I would rather know what informed folks know over the ignorant masses.
